ARM processors to take 90% of the PC market

ARM CEO, Warren East, is aiming very high it seem for his range of processor technology. He is predicting that 90% of netbooks, which will be the majority of the PC market according to him, will be powered by ARM processors. He may be right about this aswell with the Tegra2 platform looking very promising aswell as its competitor OMAP4 from TI. With Intel and AMD just not able to compete in power efficiency at the moment, it certainly looks like ARM has the advantage as now they have become very able platforms with the ability to playback HD video smoothly. The only disadvantage ARM is facing is the lack of support for Windows. Many users still want to have a Windows user experience as that is what they have become used to and expect on PC's or netbooks. However Microsoft seems to be very reluctant to offer support for the ARM platform which is leaving the gate wide open for Linux based OS's but will users adapt to Linux is another question. Linux has the opportunity to have a head start. Lets hope they make the most of it.
